How We Can Help Your Business & Employees Be More Successful

OUR SERVICES

TRAINING

Negotiate Solutions LLC helps professionals become more skilled and effective negotiators. We deliver interactive, engaging and high-value negotiation training workshops that provide participants with concrete tools and strategies to enhance their skillset and help them achieve more favorable negotiated outcomes. Our programs combine the most current and comprehensive academic research with years of practical experience, knowledge and expertise. Most training programs are delivered conveniently and efficiently onsite at clients’ premises. We also offer customized programs that can be tailored to specific participant groups and industries.

Teams and companies with skilled negotiators achieve more favorable deals, contracts and agreements which translate into cost savings, increased revenue and more profitable, enduring business relationships. Negotiation skills are foundational to success, and investing in your employees to enhance these skills can have a significant positive impact on the bottom line in addition to improving employee interaction and engagement.

While many rely on instinct when negotiating, an effective negotiator uses a range of specific negotiation strategies, tools and techniques depending on the situation. The reality is that many professionals have had little to no instruction or training in these important skills and therefore lack an awareness of the strategies and tools that would enable them to realize more positive results in their negotiations.

Virtually all professionals, including executives, attorneys, procurement/sourcing specialists, financial managers, business development teams and sales representatives, can benefit from gaining insights and learning strategic approaches to communicating more effectively and persuasively with both business partners and colleagues.

CONSULTING & COACHING

In addition to group training programs, Negotiate Solutions LLC provides negotiation consulting expertise to individual executives and teams to help them prepare for and achieve more successful results in significant negotiations.

Whether negotiating the purchase/sale of a business, a major strategic alliance, a C-level compensation package or a term sheet for a round of financing, Negotiate Solutions can help position clients to realize more valuable and favorable negotiated outcomes.

“ Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate ”
